One Minute Piano For Singers - Lesson 13

In One Minute Piano For Singers - Lesson 13, you will continue to see how much easier it is to switch from one chord to the next when you use inverted chords.

In Lesson 11 you learned that an inverted chord is simply playing the notes of the chord in a different order.

By inverting the G major chord and placing the root note, (the G), on top of the chord, you can now move the bottom two notes of the C major chord down to the B and D — instead of having to move all three notes.

The trick to learning rock, pop, country and jazz music is in the development of your ear. By training and developing your ear, you’ll be able to play new chords and chord progressions with ease.

How do you train your ear?

By listening. Learning how to play the left hand bass note on the upbeat will be much easier if you listen to each exercise a few times before attempting to play it on the piano. The more you listen, the easier it will be to learn new material.

The video lessons at One Minute Piano For Singers are designed to help busy people of all age and skill levels learn how to play the piano.

Chords are the key component to every song ever written, especially for vocalists.

If you truly want to understand music at a deep level, then it’s imperative that you focus on chords.

This is the reason why I will be teaching you basic chords for your right hand and simple bass notes for your left hand for the first month.

Once you have a dozen chords or so under your belt, I will show you how to switch from one chord to another smoothly and easily.

Many people today don’t have time to attend lessons in person, or to practice an hour or more every day.

The video lessons at “One Minute Piano For Singers” are developed to provide short bursts of instruction that can be learned very quickly.

Even though I will be uploading a new one minute piano lesson for singers every day, you can progress at a pace that is comfortable for you.

Each video lesson will feature on-screen EZ Read sheet music with the letter name of each note displayed inside each note head.

An interactive piano keyboard will be displayed at the bottom of each video showing where each note in the sheet music is located on the piano keyboard.

Right hand notes will always be displayed as blue keys on the interactive piano keyboard - and notes played with your left hand will always be displayed as gold keys on the interactive piano keyboard. This will make it much easier to distinguish right hand notes from left hand notes.

To keep each video lesson as short as possible, commentary will be kept to a minimum, which shouldn’t be a problem since each lesson is designed to be extremely intuitive.

Please post questions in the Comments Section. I will respond to all comments and questions within 24 to 48 hours.

I also offer one minute piano lessons for people who don’t sing and just want to learn how to play the piano for their own personal enjoyment. You can visit my One Minute Piano channel by clicking the following link:

Thank you for your interest in One Minute Piano For Singers.

For anyone who has subscribed to One Minute Piano in addition to One Minute Piano For Singers; you may have noticed that the lessons are very similar.

On both channels I will be focusing on chords, but the main difference is vocalists will put a stronger emphasis on playing chords with the right hand. Non-vocalists will focus on playing chords with the left hand while they play the melody with their right hand.

Enjoy!
